Licensing Requirements

This product includes a license that provides product updates and support for a specified duration. Meraki devices must be licensed to remain operational.

You'll need to obtain new licenses before your old licenses expire to continue using this Meraki product. If you choose not to renew, you will no longer be able to manage this product and it will cease to function.

Meraki licenses use a "co-termination" licensing model by default, but you can opt in to per-device licensing through the Meraki Dashboard after you set up your account.

  • Co-termination licensing means that when you request new licenses for your devices, the terms of your new and existing licenses will be averaged together so that all of your licenses will expire on the same date.
  • Per-device licensing means that each of your products is licensed individually, and the licenses assigned to those products might expire on different dates.

For more information, see the Meraki Licensing FAQ and Meraki Licensing Models page.
